Dancing with Edward
Money laundering, code-security violations, credit frauds, cyber stalking, identity thefts. Sue Anne Jones, newly minted FBI non-Special Agent, knew when she joined NIPS’s online security team that cybercrime was on the rise. She also knew that she (as her avatar Sekhmet) and her team were going to have their virtual hands, paws, claws—whatever—full. However, when seemingly run-of-the-mill virtual thefts turn into real-life murders, the boundaries between the V-net and tangible reality tangle with a vengeance.
Tracking the identities of the victims, Sue follows a tip to the Curiosity Shop, and meets Edward D’Eath, a charming avatar with elegant dance moves and inside information about the cracks in V-net security—but whose side is he on?

Sci-fi mystery drama. set in the “near future”. FBI vs bad guys on the “v-net” It’s a fun read. Get to know Sue Jones and her online V-net avatar Sekmet as she tracks down problems with cyber security on the V-net which transfers its problems all to easily in “meatspace”/in real life.

Fun, light and refreshing!
I read Hunting Gideon by this author and enjoyed it, so I was pleased to see another story about Sue Ann Jones. I found Dancing with Edward a refreshing, fun, quirky-in-a-good-way read! The characters were entertaining, the virtual world was vivid and, while it was techy, it was totally accessible! I kept wanting to grab my data gloves, tweak out a massively cool avatar, and dive into Aireon's virtual world--I wish we had that sort of thing now! I liked the contrast and interweaving between the real and virtual worlds as we followed the plot and characters. The way the author described things was like reading a movie--the visuals were great! This book is a prequel to Hunting Gideon, so I went back and read Hunting Gideon again. The third book in the series, Saving Simon, is now out and I enjoyed that one, too!
